In the artwork of Felicia Brooks, playful intuition drives her intricate process upon loosely laid plans. Paint is aggressively pushed across the surface, then blended with a gentle touch over areas in need of mercy. Brooks artwork is a bucket of water drawn from a deep well of compassion and pedagogy, poured out for the community to drink. Felicia Brooks artwork is a culmination of realism set upon abstract art.
